DP/30: Morgan Neville On “20 Feet From Stardom”

Morgan Neville, the director of such documentaries as The Cool School and Johnny Cash’s America, unveiled his latest film 20 Feet From Stardom last year. His latest doc focuses on backup singers for some of the greatest singers of all time. I was excited when the Academy Award nominations were announced and this was one of the five films to receive a nod for Best Documentary Feature. David Poland sat down with Neville during the Sundance Film Festival last year to discuss the film. It’s a fascinating listen, and I hope you enjoy this video:
